Five Ash Down: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Five Ash Down
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Five Ash Down. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Five Ash Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Five Ash Down
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
